The classroom portion of the class will focus on trail design, water bar installations, and maintenance tasks. After lunch (bring your own), the class will head out to the Claypit Pond trail for some hands -on trail maintaining techniques and practices. Find out how to build the right trail in the right place, provide the right kind of maintenance and how to keep maintenance to minimum while keeping your trails quality).
